## Property Documentation

### accepted : bool

Specifies if event has been accepted

Access functions:

bool | isAccepted() const
void | setAccepted(bool accepted)

Notifier signal:

void | acceptedChanged(bool accepted)

### `[read-only]` button : const Qt3DRender::QPickEvent::Buttons

Specifies mouse button that caused the event

Access functions:

Qt3DRender::QPickEvent::Buttons | button() const

### `[read-only]` buttons : const int

Specifies state of the mouse buttons for the event

Access functions:

int | buttons() const

### `[read-only]` distance : const float

Specifies the distance of the hit to the camera

Access functions:

float | distance() const

### `[read-only]` entity : Qt3DCore::QEntity* const

The entity that the picked geometry belongs to.

If the object picker is not attached to a leaf node in the scene graph, this is useful to find which child entity was actually picked.

Access functions:

Qt3DCore::QEntity * | entity() const

### `[read-only]` localIntersection : const QVector3D

Specifies the coordinates of the hit in the local coordinate system of the picked entity

Access functions:

QVector3D | localIntersection() const

### `[read-only]` modifiers : const int

Specifies state of the mouse buttons for the event

Access functions:

int | modifiers() const

### `[read-only]` position : const QPointF

Specifies the mouse position with respect to the render area (window or quick item)

Access functions:

QPointF | position() const

### `[read-only]` viewport : Qt3DRender::QViewport* const

The viewport in which this event originated. A null value means the event originated from a frame graph branch without a QViewport. If a frame graph branch has a Viewport inside a Viewport the property will contain the leaf viewport.

Access functions:

Qt3DRender::QViewport * | viewport() const

### `[read-only]` worldIntersection : const QVector3D

Specifies the coordinates of the hit in world coordinate system

Access functions:

QVector3D | worldIntersection() const
